Are fruit and yogurt smoothies healthy?

But while smoothies may sound like a healthy treat, sometimes they're anything but. Smoothies are usually made with healthy ingredients like soy milk, fresh or frozen fruit, skim milk, or yogurt.

Can you mix yogurt and milk in a smoothie?

Mix yogurt and milk. You can make them more drinkable by mixing yogurt with some milk, rather than using all yogurt. Combine 1/2 cup yogurt with 1/2 cup whole or skim milk, keeping in mind that the more fat the milk and yogurt have, the thicker the texture of the smoothie.

Can you add yogurt to smoothies?

Of course you can also use milk or yogurt–non-fat, low-fat, or full-fat, it's up to you. Try almond milk for a non-dairy alternative. Add some coconut water. If you need to thin down your smoothie, forget using sugary fruit juice.

What kind of yogurt do you use in smoothies?

As for yogurt, plain Stonyfield low fat is my usual, though I've used Fage and my own homemade. That, plus some milk (dairy, soy, almond, whatever), some fruit (berries are great and apparently you can eat them). Frozen blueberries are wonderful and there's no need to thaw.
